What is the best Python library for sending messages to a screen reader?

What is the best Python library for sending messages to a screen reader? I like Sral for games but on the other hand, it requires too many deps just to have screen readers read stuff as it comes in automatically. Accessible Output 2 fits the bill for something like this? If not, suggestions please?
@Orinks There is Tolk but I don't know if it works with macOS/Linux. Accessible output 2 is a bit difficult to install if you install it to pipenv, at least it seemed like that for me.

@Sevapopov @Orinks One I want to look into is Prism by @draeand, which on paper supports pretty much everything from NVDA, JAWS, ZDSR on Windows to Mac and Linux.

@pitermach @Orinks I'm considering seeing about integrating this into my Zquake fork and restoring some of the functionality AGRIP removed, since accessibility has advanced significantly since 1996 honestly

@pitermach @Sevapopov @draeand Where can I read up on that?

@Orinks @pitermach @Sevapopov https://github.com/ethindp/prism is the repo, the docs can be built with mdbook. I really need to set up GH pages for it though

@draeand @pitermach @Sevapopov Does this have Python binaries available? Was hoping to not use C compile tools to build the thing. I can, no big deal but yeah.

@draeand @pitermach @Sevapopov Nevermind, saw it in the readme.

@Orinks @pitermach @Sevapopov Yep, it does, the package is prismatoid on PyPi since prism refers to something else

@draeand @pitermach @Sevapopov Awesome. Got Prism working in my app for a new feature. NVDA backend working and don't need to worry about bundling the NVDA controller client. Detected Linux and found the Orca backend too. The question is whether it'll run okay on macOS, heard there was some issues from readme but was able to set it up in a few minutes with the Prismatoid binding.

@Orinks @pitermach @Sevapopov I've had very little MacOS testing so any testing would be appreciated

@Orinks @pitermach @Sevapopov I hope it works for you and if you have any suggestions/bugs let me know
